Michihamono Naginata Skew Knife, Right 3mm #20220300

Michihamono Naginata Skew Knife, Right 3mm, made in Japan.
• A skew knife blade ground into a clamshell-curved edge.
• Gives a softer cut and is often used in Kamakura-bori carving.
• The high-speed steel (SKH-51) edge holds its edge about three times longer than earlier blades.
• The cherry-wood (sakura) handle is hard-wearing and has a bit of weight, giving good balance for applying force.
• The high-speed steel section is thin and the core metal is extra-soft iron, so it sharpens almost like regular steel and resists softening even when machine-sharpened.
